About Us

The 130th Glasgow Company, The Boys' Brigade is a youth organisation based in Broomhill in the west end of Glasgow, Scotland. Our three age sections all meet on Friday nights during school term time and membership is open to boys between the ages of 5 and 18. Each section runs a packed but varied programme of activities and events that is not only energetic but challenging and enjoyable.

Junior Section October 2017

Junior Section has resumed for another session and with 15 boys enrolled, we're looking forward to a busy session ahead.

In recent weeks, the boys have been learning some simple figure marching as well as participating in a number of new games as they get to know each other.

In mid-September, we took part in our first District event of the session, the five-a-side football at Scotstoun. Despite having a relatively young team, our squad of six boys played exceptionally well to finish as competition runners up, winning four and drawing two of their seven matches, losing just once to the eventual competition winners.

Looking ahead, we'll be hoping for more success at the next competition, the District Sports, which is held on the track and field at Scotstoun in early October.

This session also marks the centenary of the Junior Section age group (or The Life Boys as it was once known) within The Boys' Brigade. As part of the events to mark 100 years, we will be participating in a Juniors 100 Challenge Day at BB Glasgow HQ in the coming weeks. Boys will be asked to complete a number of challenges from a list of 100 published by The Boys' Brigade - details on how we get on will follow next month.
